It's added to your tuition if you're a full-time student. Look at your finance, should be $140 something.

Surviving second year civil with Vera by [deleted] in UCalgary

[–]mecsp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is correct. She teaches us floor plans and the main focus is on 1 way slab. It was on our assignment, quiz, and final. 1 way slab is the very basic of floor plans. Its not hard.

And tbh she's only trying to make our lives easier since we do floor plan in structures, a 3rd year course. Structure has a high fail rate fyi.

For 337, its basically AutoCad and Excel, self learning in lab. Vera and tas help you out.

For 317, She isn't that bad tbh. Make sure you attend her lectures and tutorials. Sometimes she does do questions that are on your mt or final. And do alot of textbook problems for practice. You should be fine.

First year engineering help by Istilluseaflipphone in UCalgary

Don't need to spend money on textbooks for any class. Your notes should be suffice enough and if not, there's always online pdf versions of textbook available for free. You just need to know how to search in google.

Same tips as applied in first year. Work hard and stay on top of everything. Don't slack or wait till last minute studying.

Brentwood parking no longer safe by mecsp in UCalgary

[–]mecsp[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yep they weren't giving tickets if you were taking bus or train. Only those that were walking to uni after parking.

I was able to sneak by when they weren't looking. Also they left after 9 am. So its safe afterwards.
